Chapter 337 Getting Close
"Why don't we give it a try? It's not a loss anyway~"
Hei Xia Zi and Wu Xie looked at each other and smiled maliciously at the same time.
Although they had the intention of playing some tricks, Yamamoto Shunsuke and his group were very vigilant. They said they were friendly and cooperative, but in fact they sent people to take turns to monitor them along the way.
Until noon the next day when they arrived at a shabby little village in the mountains to rest, Wuxie and his three companions had not yet discovered who had the token.
Hei Xia Zi and his companions didn't care much about it, but Wu Xie, who was very curious and stubborn, directly argued with this matter. He stared at Yamamoto Shunsuke and his companions with a gloomy look all the way, which made people's scalps numb.
"Naive, take it easy. Don't you realize that people are looking at you like a pervert right now?"
Fatty Wang stopped Wuxie who wanted to go to the bathroom with Yamamoto Shunsuke, and the expression on his face was so distorted that it was hard to describe.
"I know, whether or not the token can be stolen is not important. Aren't you curious about where they put it? We haven't even seen who has the token yet, and I just don't believe it..."
Wuxie stubbornly walked around Fatty Wang and wanted to continue following him, investigating the situation under the pretext of getting close to him. However, he was stopped by Zhang Hailou who was coming towards him and whispered something in his ear.
"That old fellow is very clever. We haven't noticed anything for such a long time. The key to the main tomb must have been hidden by them in advance and is not in their hands.
Black Blind has gone to Wilson to get information. We just need to wait here for news. We will find out sooner or later."
Zhang Hailou patted Wuxie's shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to be so anxious.
Originally, I just thought that if I could get the token, I could break away from this group of people and work on my own. If there is no other way, it would just add these uncertainties.
He didn't understand why Wuxie was so obsessed with that insignificant token. Even if the thing was not in their hands, those people couldn't get around them and had to take the "Nan Xihe" dynasty bloodline into the tomb.
Since we can't get around them no matter what, it doesn't matter whether the token is in their hands or not.
Wuxie rubbed his face and sighed.
"It's not like I have to get the things, but there's a little bit of a gap."
Like the tombs that Wu Sanxing had arranged for him before, he fed the clues directly into his mouth, one by one, for fear that he would not take the bait.
For tokens like the snake-browed bronze fish, it’s almost like throwing them in the face.
Now that I have suddenly stepped out of my comfort zone, I have to work hard to find all kinds of clues and tokens, and people are very reluctant to play with me. Wuxie just feels that everything is not right.
"Okay, let's wait for good news from Mr. Hei."
Zhang Hailou and Fatty Wang successfully comforted Wuxie, and the highly expected Hei Xia Zi was twirling a box of good cigarettes in his hand, and staggered to find Wilson who was sitting in the yard cleaning his gun.
Wilson felt someone sitting down next to him and asked without looking up.
"I'm very busy. If you have something to say, just tell me."
Hei Xia Zi didn't say anything. He lit a cigarette for himself and smoked it slowly. After the other party finished wiping his pistol, he handed the box of cigarettes in his hand to him.
Wilson took out a cigarette, but did not light it. Instead, he put the cigarette to his ear, took out his own cigarette from his trouser pocket, lit one and started smoking.
"You're quite alert, big brother. Seeing you following that big boss so respectfully, I thought you were mercenaries turned bodyguards."
Hei Xia Zi smiled and found a topic to talk about, and began to get close to each other like brothers.
"I'm sorry, I never smoke other people's cigarettes. You should know that this kind of thing can be easily tampered with."
Wilson spoke seriously and apologized in slightly broken Chinese.
"That's right. Anyone who works as a mercenary has to put their head on the line."
Hei Xia Zi smiled indifferently, then spoke in a familiar tone.
"It's a coincidence, I used to be a mercenary. You know the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, I used to be a member of that group.
Although the name sounds a bit corny, it's still a well-known and large mercenary group. I wonder how it's doing now that I've been away for so many years."
Hei Xia Zi used his index finger to pick up a small silver rectangular plate hanging on his chest. From a certain special angle, one could see a simple wolf head logo engraved on the silver plate, and a string of codes was engraved on one corner of the silver plate.
Wilson's attention was instantly drawn to the small metal plate, and he successfully matched the logo on it with the logo of the large mercenary group in his memory.
Thinking of the extremely high requirements for joining the mercenary group and the even higher requirements for leaving the team, Wilson looked at Hei Xia Zi differently.
I originally thought that he was just a wild master with a weird personality, and he was only a little famous in the tomb-robbing industry of the Flower Planting Family.
I didn't expect that he was actually a formal member of the international mercenary group. Most of the members of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group were temporary members. It was as difficult as a thousand troops walking on a single-plank bridge to become a formal member. From the establishment of the mercenary group to the present, there were very few people who could retire alive.
It really is true that you can’t judge a book by its cover!
Feeling that the other party's eyes, which were originally full of vigilance, were now filled with respect, he was no longer so tense. The smile on Hei Xia Zi's face deepened and he spoke casually.
"You must have been involved in the European and American circles before, so why did you want to take on this mission?"
Most mercenary groups have their own business scope and will not easily leave their comfort zone to take on missions in other areas.
Without accurate sources of information and familiarity with various situations, it is easy to be cheated by employers.
If you are unlucky enough, you might run into the hands of a local tyrant, be beaten up directly, and then be poured with cement and sunk into the sea.
Not only is it time-consuming, laborious and unsafe, but there is no guarantee in the mercenary business, so there is no need to create trouble for yourself.
"There's nothing I can do about it. I have to repay the favors I owe, and I plan to quit this business after I finish this job."
Wilson shrugged, resting his chin on one hand, and looked at the door calmly.
“Last month, my love confessed to me, and life as a mercenary is full of uncertainty.
After discussing it, we decided to settle down in Germany once we had saved enough money. This time, our employer was very generous and gave us enough money.”
Having said that, Wilson suddenly smiled, turned around and extended a verbal invitation to Hei Xia Zi.
"After this operation, my lover and I plan to get married officially. If there is an opportunity, can I have the honor of inviting Mr. Black Blind to attend my wedding?"
"Well...it's my honor."
Hei Xia Zi hesitated for a rare moment, but finally agreed.
